I know that I feel like I have crazy pills, but isn't, you know, there a continuity of government in Venezuela?
Unless they know something I don’t, aren’t they getting a little ahead of themselves? The Maduro regime - minus Maduro - appears to still exist, and there are no U.S. troops on the ground to say otherwise.
With Nicolás Maduro out of power, the Trump administration is racing to assemble an interim governing structure for Venezuela.

Yeah, perfect application of Andrea's Law: sufficiently horrible behaviour is actually malevolent, not incompetent.

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.”
Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

I’m trying to stop myself from wishing for horrible consequences from this. It doesn’t need to go disastrously badly for it to be unjust, illegal, reckless, stupid, and hypocritical.
Disastrous consequences will probably come, but we don’t need them to for us to know this is wrong.

They saw the poor planning of the Bush admin in Iraq and decided the lesson was there should be no planning at all

Beyond being stupid, the best explanation is they like Trump and what he does. They’re pro Trump. Yes even NPR.

It reminds me of yelling at the newscasters "There's nothing 'reciprocal' about these tariffs! Quit using their terms!" but this is much more serious.

This is because of the media coup in late 2015, when the media decided not to tell the truth about Trump because it would hurt his electability.
Been doing it ever since.

I must admit, FAFOing the priors of the Constitution was not wisdom I wanted to rediscover the hard way.
Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again
Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

Hey everyone!
Social Media Lab makes a good point. Remember way back in 2025 when the attacks on Venezuela were about illegally trafficked drugs to the US?
Nope. It's all about that oil now.
Biggest reserves in the world.
